Rethinking Property Investment: Why New Beats Old
When building a property portfolio, it’s essential to focus on factors that define success:capital growth, rental income, tax depreciation benefits, and low vacancy rates.
Here’s a thought: older properties might seem attractive initially, but they come with hidden costs. Limited tax benefits and renovation needs can quickly eat into your budget. Sure, renovations offer tax deductions, but they also mean more upfront investment.
Now, let’s flip the script. Consider the benefits of investing in brand-new properties:
Strong Capital Growth: New properties often see faster appreciation.Higher Rental Yield: They tend to attract more tenants at better rates.Tax Efficiency: Maximise your savings with significant tax depreciation benefits.Consistent Occupancy: New properties generally have lower vacancy rates.
This strategy does more than just save taxes. It frees up funds for further investments, avoiding the financial sinkhole of renovating older properties.
And there’s more: Diversifying with new properties in various states can potentially skirt land tax issues. These modern properties not only fetch higher rents but also come with warranties ” 12 months for defects and 7 years for construction.This means less worry and more security for your investment.
The goal? Minimise your initial spend and let the property sustain itself through rental income and tax advantages. Spreading your capital across multiple properties can be more fruitful than sinking it all into one, especially when considering the high maintenance and eventual depreciation of older real estate.
